Overview and metadata sections
From the terms of Bernice McIlhenny Wintersteen to that of Robert Montgomery Scott, some of the Presidents' special files were set aside and carried forward with additions made to them. These files were administered by Madeleine de Miege until 1973, Lolita D. Dyson from 1973 through 1976, and by Melissa M. Paisley after that. These people served as Assistants to the President of the Corporation.
The records consist of correspondence, Board of Governors dissolution material (1964), Capital Budget Programs, Financial Records, Board of Trustees lists and President's Reports, Director's Reports from the Annual Report, Committees and Resolutions, as well as Fairmount Park Commission Reports.
These materials were arranged and described by Merle Chamberlain and Louise F. Rossmassler. Funded by a grant from The Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation.
